I did come across that at one point. I believe that is normal operation. Using the clear xlate after applying the access-list would be the correct way to terminate existing connections. I'm sure it has to do with efficiency. Once the connection has been established (passed ACL and other checks), the PIX doesn't have to check every packet through the same filters for that connection.
